    A majestic Tom Banton knock. Establishing himself.

    A drum beats to whip some energy into the crowd.

    Haris Rauf slides on to Joe Root's hip and that is meat and drink for the Englishman as he steers a pull away behind square for four

    Fantastic innings so far from Tom Banton. The key thing for him and his career moving forward is whether he can capitalise on this.

    He has to just keep ticking along as he has been. He's made a good start here and he fully deserves his fifty.

  4. 50 runs

    Half-century for Banton

    England's dressing room give a hearty applause after Tom Banton brings up his fifty, off 46 balls, with a controlled dab off spinner Saim Ayub through point for a couple.

    Good knock from Ben Duckett, especially considering his recent form.

    Jake, Aylesbury

  6. Eng 96-1

    Joe Root is the new batter and he gets off the mark with a controlled pull for a single before Tom Banton stylishly drives the final ball of Haris Rauf's over down the ground for four.

    Balance and poise from the England opener.

    Haris Rauf celebrates vociferously. And it's a big one. The short ball has been a ploy for the seamers. It balloons out to the fine leg boundary and the fielder makes no mistake.

    Pakistan desperately needed that because England were cantering to the target.

    Bounced out!

    It's short from Haris Rauf and Ben Duckett elects to take on the hook shot.

    However, it does not have the distance to go with the elevation and Fakhar Zaman manages to get round behind square in the deep to claim the catch.

    The crowd are sparked into life.

  9. Eng 88-0

    Ben Duckett has a slightly terse exchange with the standing umpire. I think he wanted a drink brought out to the middle, possibly.

    Either way something has got his goat.

    The England opener picks up a single off Saim Ayub then continues the discussion at the non-striker's end.

  10. Eng 84-0

    Target 303

    The cameras pan to the England dressing room and the players are lounging around looking very at ease with what the scoreboard says.

    Haris Rauf continues to bustle in but the pitch looks as flat as a pancake now. Four runs off the over.

    This will be the second-biggest ODI chase at this ground if England can pull it off.

    I'd say in the first five overs Pakistan had one over England with how the ball was moving but when the ball stopped doing as much England really capitalised on that.

  12. Eng 80-0

    Easy pickings for Ben Duckett who is now unbeaten on 40 off 41 deliveries.

    He deftly works the first ball of Faheem Ashraf's second over off his legs for four through fine leg, then the left-handed opener crisply times another in a similar region.

  13. Eng 70-0

    Pakistan's Haris RaufReuters

    Haris Rauf into the attack. Five runs and a wide keep the scoreboard ticking over.

    Ben Duckett can afford to smile to himself after playing the penultimate delivery with soft hands and then having a brief moment of panic when the ball pops up threatens to spin back on to his stumps. He gets away with it, though.

  14. Eng 65-0

    Pakistan skipper Shaheen Afridi turns to another experienced seamer in all-rounder Faheem Ashraf.

    The 32-year-old bowls with decent control with his first four deliveries, cramping Ben Duckett for room with a tight line.

    Ben Duckett drills one slightly overpitched but Saim Ayub manages to pull of a superb diving stop at point.

    Final ball of the over is thrashed through the gap, though, for four.

  15. Eng 61-0

    Ben Duckett continues this show of intent with a stylish clip through mid-wicket for four, followed by a waspish drive all along the carpet for another.

    England are building some momentum towards the end of the powerplay.

    Tom Banton has picked up a length ball. Naseem Shah was just outplayed there.

  17. 6 runs

    Eng 52-0

    Absolutely nothing top-edgey about this maximum...

    Beautifully timed by Tom Banton as he whips a slightly slower delivery from Naseem Shah through mid-wicket for six.

    Straight out the middle of the bat.

  18. 6 runs

    Eng 46-0

    Naseem Shah bounces Tom Banton but having clothed one a little earlier there's no mistake this time.

    Banton plays it right on his nose, and helps the ball on its away for six between fine leg and deep square.

    It was a little top-edgey, but he will not care a jot.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC Chief Cricket Commentator on Test Match Special

    That's a beautiful shot from Tom Banton. That's worth the flight out here alone.

    Great shot.

  20. Pak 34-0

    Tom Banton stands tall and clips Shaheen Afridi for four through mid-wicket.

    Classical batsmanship.

    A couple of balls later Banton drives on the up, though, and is fortunate the ball skims off his blade and down to third.

    Ben Duckett leaves not one, but two, deliveries at the end of the over.
